Medical CBT: Ten-Minute Techniques for Real Doctors (Oct, 2018)

Medical CBT: Ten-Minute Techniques for Real Doctors is organized by Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) Canada and will be held on Oct 07, 2018 at Sheraton Miyako Hotel Tokyo, Minato, Tokyo, Japan. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 9.0 Mainpro+ credits.

Medical CBT is specifically designed for the ultra-brief appointments typical of primary care. In this workshop you'll learn the essentials of a skill that may fundamentally change how you cope with the all-important psychological side of medicine.

You'll learn flexible Ten-Minute CBT tools to integrate into your existing approaches to major depression, persistent depression (“dysthymia” until DSM-5), chronic worry, chronic pain, panic disorder, non-compliance, substance abuse, illness anxiety, borderline personality disorder, suicidality, and more.

Lead faculty Greg Dubord, MD has given over 400 CBT workshops and is a University of Toronto CME Teacher of the Year.

Learning objectives :
• Learn to break patients away from their "empathy addictions"
• Learn to structure ten-minute appointments to maximize impact
